Routes in Suomi / Suomi / Helsinki
Lenkki kauniissa maisemissa merenrannalla ja metsässä. Vaihteleva sekä alustaltaan että profiililtaan. Ei liikennettä eikä liikennevaloja! Useita kuntoilutelineitä: Talin palloiluhallin edessä uudet (kenttien läheisyydessä myös toiset), Munkkiniemen uimarannaltakin löytyy ja Pajamäen kääntöpaikalla onkin sitten uudet ja monipuoliset. Peruslenkkireitti, jolta voi poiketa useille poluille ja teille ja saada lisää vaihtelua pituuteen ja maisemaan. Reitti on myös kulttuurihistoriallisesti kiinnostava. Matkan varrelle sijoittuvat Pajamäen patterimäki, Talin siirtolapuutarha, golfkenttä ja kartano, jossa mm. suojeltu tammi sekä Akseli Gallen-Kallelan ateljeekoti Tarvaspää. Reitiltä voi poiketa myös Villa Elfvikin maisemiin ja jatkaa matkaa vaikka Otaniemeen. Talin huipulla tallustellaan vanhan kaatiksen päällä, mutta sieltäkin näkee kauas, lisäksi mahdollisuus bongata Vermon heppoja, koiran kouluttajia ja frisbee golfin pelaajia :)
Smell the sea breeze!
The route begins at the Market Square. The market is open on weekdays from 6.30am to 6pm and on Saturdays from 6.30am to 4pm.
Kaivopuisto is one of the finest parks
in Helsinki. It was created in the late 1830s on what had previously been wasteland on the initiative of wealthy
businessman Henrik Borgström. At the time Russian high society was forbidden from travelling outside the Russian Empire for political reasons, which helped Helsinki develop into a lively and cosmopolitan spa town. To cater
to the new clients a spa building was erected by the sea and an entertainment complex, Kaivohuone, in the centre of the park.
Nowadays the district of Kaivopuisto overlooking the park is a popular residential area among diplomats, and the park itself remains very popular among Helsinki residents, especially
for walks. Open-air concerts and other major events are also held in the park in summertime.
Töölönlahti Bay is situated between the city centre and the southern end of Keskuspuisto, Helsinki’s “Central Park”. The parks around the bay are popular places for city residents and tourists alike to relax and exercise. The cultural and historic surroundings are best explored on foot, by bicycle or even on rollerblades. The loop around the bay is approximately 2.2 kilometres. The environment also offers a taste of Finland’s unique nature. Many bird species nest along the northeast shore, and the waters hide a number of rare plants.
Admire the Functionalist and Classicist architecture!
Töölö is one of the finest districts in Helsinki, where splendid architecture is combined with many green parks. There are two parts to Töölö: Etu-Töölö (“Front Töölö”), which borders the city centre, and Taka-Töölö (“Back Töölö”) on the northern side of Hesperiankatu park street. The architecture of Etu-Töölö is dominated by the brick Classicism of the 1920s, and that of Taka-Töölö by the light Functionalism of the 1930s. Taka-
Töölö is also home to such famous landmarks as the Olympic Stadium, the Sibelius Monument and the Finnish National Opera. Most of the residential buildings in the Meilahti district behind
Töölö were built around the mid 1900s. Meilahti is home to Mäntyniemi, the official residence of the Finnish President that was completed in 1993, and a major hospital complex.
